the worst is when a player has pocket 5's....."he has the spped limit, with no sign of slowing down" uggggggghhh..mute button

compared to bush-lite. vvp is a harvard graduate. and he's basically entertaining. he really likes the game-you can tell. shuffle and deal........

Looks like Kato Kaelin

You guys need to relax. Yes I play a few tourneys from time to time. Moslty online lately, Paradise Poker under the name Blackjack777 if you want to look me up and say hi. Just promise to be nice.If you have any suggestions for new slang terms to call the cards, post them. I check the site every few days when not on the road. Have a good one, thanks for showing support.

i like vince. i think norm chad is very funny, but vince is also funny sometimes.i think you guys who are attacking him are probably UGLY and are just jealous.

honestly i enjoy listing to vvp. but i agree with iveyfan05 the whole "speed limit" thing has really got to go. seriously just call them pocket 5s. oh and vince, i would like to see you play in one of the wpt events. mike played in the book writer one. why dont you just enter one. i'm sure if you just asked they would let you in for like one dollar. but seriously i wanna see how you play.

I enjoy listening to Vince commentate at the WPT. He is a pretty good player and plays online at Hollywood Poker. If you guys want to play against go to [url]www.hollywoodpoker.com[/url], and see how he really is in person. He is very chatty in the game and he is quite funny!

I'm so in love with the VVP! I wish he had a fan website! Let me know if one gets set up! If anyone else out there thinks he's hot- watch Hell Night.

i have an idea also. the 7,2 off-suit should be called the vince van patten.

I just got done cruising on the WPT. My husband played but didn't make the final table. We did meet Vince and he is so nice! Him and Mike work very hard, long hours. I find the show very entertaining but seeing it live, I now know how difficult it really is for Vince and Mike to make comments when they don't know what the hand is! If they make up silly names for card suits it's to pass the time away and make the job more interesting. So what if he never made #1 tennis pro...he did beat out John McEnroe twice! So get a life and leave him alone! He's a good guy! (Vince, you spoke to my husband and I during the taping, we were to the left of the booth...you told us you were a morning person). Keep doing the great job you're doing...these people are jealous of you...and girls...HE IS SOOO Handsome!!! Keep up the good work Vince...and have another Corona! (P.S. Linda's joke about the "small package" was hilarious!)

I loved him the first time I saw him on t.v. and again when I saw him in person at Mammoth when I was only about 15 years old he stopped me dead in my tracks in a cafeteria line. He said Hello to me, I melted, and I didn't find out it was him for a few hours later a friend said she saw him and then I knew my feelings for him were really real. I think I heard he is married, to bad, so am I, for now...

what's with the lovefest with this goofball?????

Recipe for offensive & annoying commentary:14 uses of racial slurs8 cliche hand labels ("He's picked up the speed limit again!")

Howdy Vince, your looking as handsome as ever ;) Hope your thinking about letting me do that bio!! See you soon. Your other honey! ahaha

note to mike sexton: ditch the baggage!!!!

My Dad was in SPACEBALLS!

I loved it when Gus Hansen had 4-2 and he was considering raising it pre-flop, and mike is saying its a bad play etc. Vince replies "it's a big hand for Gus!" lol

You're all crazy. Vince Van Patten is amazing. He does INDEED make the WPT what it is, and he is a great poker player. He knows his stuff. And yes, he *is* a babe. He's great. <3 I enjoy him very much.

I agree lynds, he adds some colour to the commentary. I like his quirky observations here and there. Like one time a guy was wearing a dark jacket, hat and sunglasses and Vince was like "this guy looks like he's in the witness protection program!" and also this old trucker-looking amateur guy he kept saying "this guy looks like the sucker that everyone gets paid off of, but hes actually doing well". It's also funny when hes like saying "hes got the six eight off suite, mike. whats he gonna do?" Very descriptive hehe.

If they replaced him with Norman Chad the WPT would be alot more watchable. This guy is not entertaining at all.

He should be doing voice overs for Chevy or something.

Naw the perfect job for Van Patten is hosting one of those 30 minute infomercials at 3am. The product doesnt matter.

hey VVP for pres. the only reason more ppl watch WPT then WSOP is cause of Shana Haitt. and WSOP is better(well besides the Shana Haitt part) cause it is a bigger field and has BETTER ANOUNCERS. Van Patten is a horrible anouncer. all he knows about poker is the hand nicknames.

This guy loves his suited connectors. Even thought players fold em 95% of the time.

hes putting on his glove,now hes puttig on his other glove

I played in a Pokerstars $1 s/g tourney the other day and seated next to me was someone named VVPatten. Someone asked him if he was Vince Van Patten but he did not talk. Could this have been Vince?

haha malcolm the guys such an amateur hes playing $1 sng's LOL i'm guessing he went out in 8th or 9th position?

he is so hot!!!!!!!!omg I want him. Hes so cute :) XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX <3

Jennie, Ill talk to you all night about my goofy nicknames for hole cards, but I dont want any type of physical relationship with you because it takes me 4 hours to properly fix my hair and I wouldnt want to jeopardize having one strand of hair out of place; but Im sure youre a very lovely girl. Love Always, The handsome and debonair Vince Van Patten.

I am a PHIL HELLMUTH fan living in Nacogdoches, Texas (where the shuttle came down). I am also involved in a research project involving the hexadecimal (base 16) numbering system and evaluating names based on the A=10 (10=1+0=1), B=11 (11=1+1=2) ... E=14 (14=1+4=5) ...

LUCKY NO. 99, you can kiss your &quot;Wayne Gretzky&quot; mystique goodbye. Wayne Gretzky was #99 and was the best; and you, LUCKY NO. 99, were hexadecimal #99 and were the best. Right now, August 6, 2005, I am watching the Travel Channel &quot;World Poker Tour&quot;. What's up with the &quot;Phil Hellmuth, Jr.&quot;?

Allow me to use the hexadecimal KISS principle, which reduces the hexadecimal (base 16) numbering system to unit numbers: A=10 (10=1+0=1) ... E=14 (14=1+4=5) ...

[Wayne]+[Gretzky]
Wayne = [5+1(A=10=1+0=1) +7+5+5(E=14=1+4=5)] = 23 = 2+3 = 5
Gretzky = [7+9+5(E=14=1+4=5) +2+8+2+7] = 40 = 4+0 = 4
TOTAL = 63 = 6+3 = 9.
His Jersey was #99.

[Phil]+[Hellmuth]
Phil = [7+8+9+3] = 27 = 2+7 = 9
Hellmuth = [8+5(E=14=1+4=5) +3+3+4+3+2+8] = 36 = 3+6 = 9
TOTAL = 63 = 6+3 = 9.
FIRST NAME = 9
LAST NAME = 9.

&quot;The Man In Black&quot;
[Johnny]+[Cash]
Johnny = 1+6+8+5+5+7 = 32 = 3+2 = 5
Cash = 3(C=hexadecimal 12=1+2=3) +1(A=10=1+0=1) +1+8 = 13 = 1+3 = 4
TOTAL = 45 = 4+5 = 9.

[Tiger]+[Woods]
Tiger = 2+9+7+5+9 = 32 = 3+2 = 5
Woods = 5+6+6+4+1 = 22 = 2+2 = 4
TOTAL = 54 = 5+4 = 9.

[Phil]+[Hellmuth]+[Jr]
Phil = [7+8+9+3] = 27 = 2+7 = 9
Hellmuth = [8+5(E=14=1+4=5)+3+3+4+3+2+8] = 36 = 3+6 = 9
Jr = [1+9] = 10 = 1+0 + 1.
FIRST NAME = 9
LAST NAME = 9
JR = 1
TOTAL = 19

CHAOS = 3(C=hexadecimal 12=1+2=3) +8+1(A=10=1+0=1) +6+1 = 19

FAIL = 6+1+9+3 = 19

AMBUSH = 1(A=10=1+0=1) + 4+2(B=11=1+1=2) +3+1+8 = 19

SLAIN = 1+3+1+9+5 = 19

BURN = 2+3+9+5 = 19

BREAK = 2+9+5+1+2 = 19

TURN = 2+3+9+5 = 19

TWIST = 2+5+9+1+2 = 19

HELL = 8+5+3+3 = 19 (Thank God for the &quot;Muth&quot;!!)

GET RID OF THE &quot;JR&quot; and return to
PHIL HELLMUTH = 99
THE MAN IN BLACK.

Hello! Anybody getting a clue?
